Scrapping With Liz September Template Challenge My Septmber 28th Garden

Beautiful photos. I imagine your garden is just beautiful. What a talent it takes to grow such lovelies! That praying mantis photo is just so fun!

love the flowers and the little fellow visiting

@garrynkim Thank you very much. I was insistent on having recent photos and I took the day before I made this page. My garden style is sort of English countryside, layers and layers of plants close together. I was taking photos and that praying mantis was keeping a good eye on me, I kept telling it: "come at me, bro." Wink, wink. It was quite large, about 7 or 8 inches long.
@Cath_ Thank you very much. It wasn't small a bit, about 7 or 8 inches long. One of the largest praying mantises I have seen. It wasn't keen on me being so close. I think it wanted to fight me.

@trekmom ours not that big. unknown why i didt ue the picture wih 2 in shot

Love all the floral pictures and how you scrapped them close-up.

@Cath_ That page is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing here. I love those insects too. It must be well fed in my yard or yours was a younger one. I know this is gross, but they get large enough to lunch on hummingbirds here. Shudders. Yuck.
@Scrapping with Liz Thank you, your kind words have made my day.

I love the bright, colorful background paper you chose and how it highlights the rainbow of colors in your garden photos. I can’t believe that mantis was so big! I had a baby one land on me yesterday; I thought it was a piece of trash when I saw it flying toward me haha
